Indiana could elect to use the stretch provision (over 3 years) on the $4M owed to Al Jefferson or let his cap sit for one year. Using the stretch would have the Pacers with $14.5M in room. Not stretching would equal $11.8M‬.

With the $10.5M Bojan Bogdanovic salary likely becoming guaranteed today, Indiana will enter free agency with $12M in room that could increase to $22.2M. The room takes into account free agent cap holds removed and Al Jefferson waived prior to his July 2 guaranteed date. Jefferson is owed $4M and his salary could be stretched over 3 seasons reducing his cap hit to $1.3M. Indiana could create additional saving if Ike Anigbogu is waived prior to his July 15 cut date. The former second-round pick has $690K of his $1.4M salary guaranteed.

Thaddeus Young, who averaged 11.8 points and 6.3 rebounds last season, is exercising his $13.7 million option to stay with the Pacers, sources told ESPN.
